Lanskoj bridge, Steel bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Lanskoj Bridge is a steel structure in Saint Petersburg that crosses the river and connects multiple city districts. The bridge handles both vehicle and foot traffic daily, serving as a major passage over the waterway.
The bridge was built during a period of Soviet-era infrastructure development and has shaped the city's layout since then. Its construction opened new connections between districts that were previously difficult to reach.
Local residents gather at the bridge during winter evenings to observe the sunset and take photographs of the surrounding water landscape.
The bridge is easily accessible on foot and offers good views of the river and surroundings from its length. Best times to visit are during daylight hours when you can clearly see the water and the districts on both sides.
Engineers incorporated specific structural elements in the bridge design to handle the extreme temperature variations of Saint Petersburg's climate.
